So apparently my last post was my 50th post and this will be my 51st. Sweet, I guess.

I've been listening to "Dissolved Girl" by Massive Attack a lot lately. The album Mezzanine is not bad but I just really like that song. This particular song was feature in the first Matrix movie during the scene where Keanu Reeves as 'Neo' is asleep at his computer desk and listening to music. This is the song that is playing. It fits in with the themes of the movie but that's not why I like it.

It's chill, that's why.

Going back to my previous, its interesting because that aspect feels totally gone from my dreams. Now they just seem like random, dumb shit. I mean, its possible that they're all occurring in this same world but they're not so much apocalyptic and more so dumb.


I've been writing a bit in my "Skin and Bone" novel and I have a good feeling about it. Its setup kind of similar to the Watch books (Night, Day, Twilight Watch books) in that its three separate parts. The parts are basically novellas but fit together as a whole novel. That is how this story is.

I've got a good chunk of the 2nd part, I'm nearly finished with the 1st, and I've got loads of ideas for the 3rd.

I've also been reading quite a bit. I'm kind of forcing myself to because I enjoy it but also because I have a lot of unread books on my shelves that I want to get to (mostly short story collections). I just finished re-reading The Road (which I admit it also for my fiction writing class but I love this book to death) and I'm in the process of reading the non-fiction book My Custom Van by Michael Ian Black. If you like any of the stuff he's done: Stella, The State, The I Love the...Series on VH1, or just generally find him funny, you will enjoy this book. It is essentially a collection of essays on all kinds of random topics. It's great.

That's about it for now. I figured I hadn't posted in awhile so here ya go. Enjoy.
